The macleanup desktop app

macleanup_5.2.0_universal.dmg — one disk image for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, macOS 11 or later. It runs the same macleanup.sh as npx macleanup, with a disk gauge, a dry-run ledger and a receipt for every run.

The first time you open it: macleanup is not signed with an Apple developer certificate yet. Open the disk image, drag macleanup into Applications, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway. You do this once; later versions arrive through the app's own signed updater.

If you used the 4.6 desktop app: install 5.2.0 from this page once. The 4.6 app cannot update itself to 5.2.0.

The command line

Added

  • Section 0 (system health, read-only) lists installed developer toolchains — Node versions under nvm, pyenv Pythons, rbenv Rubies, rustup toolchains, Java VMs, Xcode, the Android SDK and Studio, Docker Desktop, Flutter and Homebrew — with the space each takes. It changes nothing; each toolchain's own uninstaller removes it.
  • --json-events: each item carries age_days (days since it was last opened or changed), and toolchain items carry tool and version. Both are additive; the schema stays at version 1.
  • The macleanup desktop app for macOS ships with this release.
